Dan, Re: "The fastest P4s actually draw a little more power under load, and are a little less tolerant of high temperature than K7, making them a bit more of a challenge to cool. If retailers are shy about the K7 core systems, they must be out and out nervous about the P4 systems" You're exaggerating again. The fastest Pentium 4 CPUs do not dissipate that much more than the fastest Athlon chips, except that Intel arguably includes the better cooling solution. From the Athlon Model 4 spec sheet (page 34): amd.com 1.0GHz - 49W 1.2GHz - 59W 1.4GHz - 65W From the Pentium 4 spec sheet (page 72): developer.intel.com 1.4GHz - 54.7W 1.6GHz - 61.0W 1.8GHz - 66.7W In terms of tolerance, you cannot compare the Tcase values in the Pentium 4 spec with the Tjunction temperatures in the Athlon spec. Is that what you were basing your comment about the Athlons being more tolerant to higher temperatures? wanna_bmw
